Non-violence has worked in India, Gahndi, and in the US civil rights movement, M.L.K. But in many other instances people didn't fight back and got killed. Ghandi's advice to the Jews of Europe was to not resist. How did that work out for them? How is working out for those in Darfur?

Losers are the ones who don't know how to love. Losers think that their happiness comes from a warm gun. I'm sorry you can't wrap your head around this truth, but i do know that you will learn your lesson one way or another.

Farlist, You should ask, What do Martin Luther King, Gandi, Corrizon Aqueno, Malcohn X, and Nelson Mandela have in common, aside from assination attempts? Then ask where else can it be used and by whom. They were braver and more effective than anyone blowing themselves up or firing an AK47. It might not be a tool you can personally use but it might be used by others. Use some creative thought on the subject.

you don't know mutch about the middle east do you?sorry, but you should ask a bit more before you critizise another country, perhaps learn a bit more about the middle east?if this sounds threatning in any way you misset my point, and if you do not find any energy to acttually go and research what is REALLY going on in the middle east and what practices we teach here perhaps you shoulden't be saying stuff you dont fully understand or know about.

When I first saw this I couldn't quite work out if it was a joke or not.This professor is honestly one of the most ridiculously stupid people i have ever seen.That 'model' with positive and negative energy was literally lauaghable; i genuinely burst out laughing when i saw it.Non-violence is pathetic.Man this dude is a loser.

Non violence stratagy is to turn violence on itself. Non violence has worked to liberate India, South Africa and the Phillipines. MLK used it successfully here in the USA. They should teach it in the Middle East.

If non-violence means not using violence even when threatened then I think this professor needs to learn a little bit more about behavior from a strictly biological standpoint. In the animal world (yes that includes us), if there is a tendency for the general population to have some behavior that can be easily exploited then it will be until there is an evolutionary stable system of equal numbers of exploiters and exploited.It's too soon to rush judgment and this course seems doomed to fail.

and when you add negative energy (McPalin) to a negative situation (todays economy) it becomes even more worst!
